The room was immaculate and beautifully furnished. The view from the balcony was magnificent. Cooked breakfasts were good and the helpings were very generous. All of the staff that we met were were friendly and nothing was too much trouble

Breakfast was good if you wanted a cooked breakfast but the choice of food for a continental breakfast was very limited in comparison to other hotels in a similar price range that we have stayed in where there was a lovely range of breads and rolls, a much wider range of fruit and a much greater choice of cereals. It would have been a nice touch to have had better toiletries in the bathroom - say soaps, shampoo, body lotion in a range such as Arran Aromatics.

Good variety of lovely cooked breakfasts & evening meal menu in the bar as restaurant was closed for refurbishment. Quiet location with fabulous view and off street parking. Clean, spacious, comfortable warm room. Nice modern furniture, fittings & carpets, sadly being spoiled by thoughtless clientele who don’t wipe their feet etc. Comfortable bed. Great power shower & stacks of hot water.

Fire looked attractive on website but wasn’t lit (January). Some noise carried between rooms & floorboards creaked. At times seemed as if ‘kitchen’ couldn’t be bothered…menu choice not available, 2 tables served warm bread as toast, no more croissants & almost reluctantly served us “fish & chips only” when dinner serving time was cut short without informing us though we had been staying several days. Unused towels were removed for washing but tea facilities unwashed & bed not made (though it is an inn not a hotel so perhaps standard practice?)

Over the years we have stayed at the Oyster Inn on many occasions. It has recently been transformed with bright new rooms overlooking the estuary. Rooms with small balconies (complete with seats and table). Even in early April it was a delight to sit out and admire the view. The bar area is now their restaurant and the food is just as good as it ever was. Staff are cheerful and helpful.

Just a note - if you cannot get parked at the front of the property there is a car park at the rear. At the moment you must walk at the road side ( pavement) to access reception - some ongoing building works at the side of the property. Not an issue unless you have mobility problems.

Breakfast was really good, good selection of items and lovely service to the table for the main breakfast. We had dinner the night before and menu choice was great.The fish dishes we had were excellent. The location was fantastic for our needs. Visiting family and a short distance from Oban itself.

The room looked onto the courtyard. When curtains open felt exposed to other guests passing by.- suggest a voile The second twin bed was poorly accessible in the narrow inlay at the back of the toilet area. No surface for the kettle to sit to boil safely near a plug. Also the accessibility of the kettle on the high shelf , too high for a person with disabilities to reach to. The position of the tv couldn’t be seen from the inlay bed.

We booked to stay here for a week and we’re so happy with our choice. A nice friendly welcome met us on our arrival and a member of staff helped us with our two heavy bags as we struggled with them. For the whole week the standard of service never dropped. Our room was immaculate and so was the rest of the Inn. The sea view from our room was breath taking. The breakfasts were perfect and the full Scottish breakfast was really tasty with no off putting grease. However I have to say the porridge was my favourite, I have never tasted porridge so creamy. We stayed for evening meal several times in the week. Not one of the choices we made let us down. The potato and Leek soup of the day was so tasty. All we can say is Lorraine and every member of her team worked so hard to make our stay as pleasurable as they could. Hard working, friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

The only thing we didn’t like was Leaving !

Although it was a last minute get away and I knew I wasn't going to be getting a loch view room with a balcony, it was still an absolutely cracking wee night away. Check in was so easy by one of the bar staff who came right into reception when we entered the hotel. He booked us in for dinner that evening and nothing was a problem. The food was amazing, (no I'm not just saying that because there was apple crumble and custard on the specials board). The rugby was on all the tv's and all the folk in the hotel were avidly watching. The room was nice and warm and we both had a very comfortable night. Breakfast was excellent and very filling. Cereal, tea, coffee, a full fried breakfast and finished of with toast with jam. 11am check out made for a relaxed morning ready for our drive back the Fife. I'll definitely be looking to come back up again. 10/10.

Have stayed here several times. Upgraded to new balcony room. Absolutely stunning views over Loch Etive.

Restaurant being renovated. Had to eat in bar each night. Has never bn prob in the past but last night of stay wk before Xmas large party of young guys. The noise was deafening. Staff and myself asked them to tone it down to no avail. Shocking language. Spoiled our last night and after superb meal we headed back to our room with our drinksl. On next visit will ensure dining room open .

Loved my room (25) as I had a fabulous view of the water. Bed comfy and clean Shower very powerful, brilliant. Biscuits in room as was tea, coffee and chocolate making facilities. Food was very good Breakfast was also very good. The Inn is situated 6 miles out of Oban so a good spot to make as your base. Staff ever so friendly and helpful. As a lone female traveller I found this reassuring. I intend to return to The Oyster Inn and stay a little longer next time. Thank you to all the staff who made my trip so enjoyable.

Just a couple of niggles, nothing major. Would be nice to have a coating on the windows so you can see out, but people can not see in. I would have loved to wake up to that fabulous view, but as the room is so close to pedestrian people could see right into the room. Could you provide "Do not disturb" signs, please?

Reception book in process was easy. Room we had was very spacious and very clesn. Fantastic view and a balcony. Bed was big and comfortable and shower was great. House keeping staff always asked if we needed anything Choices available for breakfast was very good . Restaurant food was good and home made. Staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming.. Glue pot bar had a lovely log fire and a good atmosphere. The guy who served our food was really nice and we had a lot of craic with him. Hope to return soon. Well done guys for making our stay enjoyable.

I was recovering from recent illness at the time of my visit and needed to rest. Despite renovations being carried out in the hotel, my room was warm, comfortable and quiet. The shower was hot and very powerful. The breakfast was incredible. I ordered dinner, which was served in the Gluepot bar as the restaurant was being renovated. The food and wine was delicious and I Ioved the atmosphere of the bar. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Just a few little niggles. The tap in the bathroom was so powerful that if I didn't turn it on very carefully it would spray water all over the place. There were sachets of coffee in the bedroom, but no tea (herbal tea would have been nice). I couldn't find any toast or croissants at breakfast - as I'd been ill I wasn't really hungry enough for them anyway, but it seemed odd to be served the most delicious eggs and smoked salmon without any bread. I'm sure they would have provided bread if I'd asked.
